  • Publication number: 20250133197
    Abstract: Mathematical relationships between the scene geometry, camera parameters, and viewing environment are used to control stereography to obtain various results influencing the viewer's perception of 3D imagery. The methods may include setting a horizontal shift, convergence distance, and camera interaxial parameter to achieve various effects. The methods may be implemented in a computer-implemented tool for interactively modifying scene parameters during a 2D-to-3D conversion process, which may then trigger the re-rendering of the 3D content on the fly.

  • Publication number: 20250121958
    Abstract: The present invention relates to articulating spacecraft chassis and methods of making and using same. The present invention relates to spacecraft chassis and methods of making and using same. Such spacecraft chassis have a dynamic movement capability that allows the spacecraft to alter its structure while still maintaining industry volumetric launch standards. This capability increases opens up a wide range of achievable volumetric states and increases the ability to meet mission requirements by introducing a new tunable parameter. In addition, the judicious selection of certain dynamic movement parameters can result increased payload capabilities and improved maneuverability.

  • Publication number: 20250103019
    Abstract: A system includes a wafer shape metrology sub-system configured to perform one or more shape measurements on post-bonding pairs of wafers. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the wafer shape metrology sub-system. The controller receives a set of measured distortion patterns. The controller applies a bonder control model to the measured distortion patterns to determine a set of overlay distortion signatures. The bonder control model is made up of a set of orthogonal wafer signatures that represent the achievable adjustments. The controller determines whether the set of overlay distortion signatures associated with the measured distortion patterns are outside tolerance limits provides one or more feedback adjustments to the bonder tool.

  • Publication number: 20250106582
    Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for dynamically updating simulated source locations of audio sources within spatialized audio content based on detection of a change in the location and/or orientation of an audio output device (e.g., earbuds or speakers that are optionally worn by a user and are optionally included in a headset). In some examples, the simulated source locations are updated if the change in the location and/or orientation of the audio output device is greater than a threshold amount of change, and the simulated source locations are not updated if the change in the location and/or orientation of the audio output device is not greater than the threshold amount of change. In some examples, a simulated source location is identified in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, a mode of outputting audio is changed in response to movement of an electronic device.
